Question

Is it appropriate to cover head specifically for the Adhan or not? Women cover their heads with scarves during the Adhan and specifically for the Adhan. These women say it is respectful to do so. However, someone else said that this is something new in Islam and wasn't there before.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
